Moved to a new instance so a re- #introduction:
I'm a he/him living in #Cumbria (the North-West of England).
I'd rather be #outdoors #cycling than looking at a screen: #gravel (old-school #roughstuff), #mtb, #cyclocross, #fatbike, #ultradistance, #bikepacking, it's all good whether #activeTravel or #adventure.
A #Socialist through and through. #GTTO
A creative jack of all trades but master of none. #WebDev #Design #Photography #DigitalHealth
As a kid when I worked as a KP in an Italian restaurant most the front of house pretended to be Italian and called Gino or Luigi when in fact they were from Mick from Birkenhead or Baz from Widnes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64495564
This pure #AI generated Seinfeld knockoff is disturbingly hilarious! I am literally in tears here.
And I'd fully forgotten how brilliantly funny the video of the original is. #HipHop #Rap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltP7L16A8Hs

Sorry, Joe...

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally AGAINST downtown separated, protected bike-lanes, later became one of their most vigourous supporters, because of EVIDENCE that bike-lanes are better for downtown business than any street parking they replace.

Today, La Daughter (https://www.instagram.com/al_xlatattoos/) opened her own tattoo studio, Golden Goose Tattoos. A stones throw from Birmingham New Street station, it's a bright, modern, clean studio of friendly female artists and I couldn't be prouder.
https://whatbars.com has seemingly run out of steam, so I'm having to mock up my own version. That said, it's the curve of the drops that I've been struggling to find what I'm after, which the tool never showed. It looks as though Ritchey Beacon XLs (in grey here) might be the holy grail. #cycling
